Hardcore Fitness Maniacs October 2025!

Wow, October already. I love fall so I'm excited. We have had the BEST September weather ever. It has been simply beautiful every day in September. I hope October is the same. This morning I did RAW Intervals 4 and had a great workout. This is a fun workout but almost too high impact for me now. My knees did not like some of the moves so I modified.

This workout has 30 second intervals, used the step with one set of risers, 8 and 12# dumbbells. No boxing in this workout whatsoever.

Split/Squat Jacks
Power Curls: 12's
Repeat

Pendulums
Deadlift/Upright Rows: 12's
Repeat

Icky Feet (love these)
Back Lunge w/One Arm Overhead Press: 12#
Repeat other side

Lunge Cardio off Step
Side Lunge/Curls: 12's
Repeat

Squat Touch Downs
Plank Rows: 12's (I just did standing rows)
Repeat

Heel Crossovers
Jacks/Skates
Repeat

REPEAT ALL - but she cuts back on lifting moves, only does them once and skips the Heel Crossovers and Jacks/Skates

Skull Crushers/Situps: 12#
Chest Flyes w/Leg Raise: 12's
Repeat

Workout was 44 minutes, burned 272 calories, did 2370 steps and HR was 120/148.

Roselyn - Praying for you husband and your mother-in-law. That is tough.

Belinda - I'm sorry you have to go back to the infusions, that must be very frustrating for you. Where are you having the ultra sound on? Your neck? I hope they can find out what is causing your pain.

Have a great day everyone!!

Thank you my MIL took another bad decline today just say some prayers for my husband Rick. He’s an only child and his parents have been divorced since he’s been an infant so she’s been his constant Parent his dad was a good dad. He just lived in St. Louis and Rick grew up in Omaha so that was the distance so he could use some prayers right now. He’s with her now.

I did get a Glute hamstring workout in today

jolie hope things are good with your mom sending prayers

I did not get a workout in Tuesday. Yesterday I did CDorner 80's aerobics workout, 42 minutes, 292 calories, heart rate 138/161. I forgot to check the steps. I also did a stretch workout for 13 minutes, 33 calories. Total time 55 minutes, 325 minutes. I like the cardio workout that I did today, except there is 3 youtube stops for abs.

Jolie, I am so sorry that happened to your mother. I will be praying for her.

Roselyn, sending prayers for your husband and his mother.

Debbie, nice work on Raw Intervals #4. I remember that one. I think I would have just did the skates and skipped the jacks.

Belinda, nice work on CL #563 In and Out Lower Body and the Gentle Pilates Seated Hips and Legs. I bet you are looking forward to going to Germany. Sorry you are having problems. I hope the ultrasound is helpful.
I got my x-rays info online today. No new fractures. It ends up being a mild scoliosis in the thoracic spine and osteoporosis with changes from the kyphoplasty. My doctor told me I could take 1 tablet in the morning and two together another time if I wanted. I tried that and decided I would just follow the label and spread them out to 3 times a day. I read online that this med should not be taken with dairy. Nothing on the bottle says it though, and my doctor did not say anything. He just said make sure I take it with food. I use yogurt to get part of my calcium from food.

This morning I did two kickboxing workout (wish I wanted to do other cardio than kickboxing/boxing workouts) and I did RAW Kickboxing #8 which was pretty fun and then did some of RAW Kickbox NRG. That one is a fun one, should have done that one first and then the other second.

Anyways, workout was 45 minutes, burned 396 calories, did 4117 steps an HR was 144/178.

I really need to start doing some other cardio workouts. I just hate jumping workouts and most of Kelly's cardio is jumping workouts. I like the Cardio Crush ones but in the morning I just don't feel like doing them. I should start using my Max Trainer again, but that thing is just so hard. I really should get used to it again and use it like I used to. Such a waste of money just sitting in the corner.

Belinda - Nice workout yesterday. Seems nothing can stop you! I admire that about you, you just keep going and it's amazing! I hope you have an amazing time in Germany with your kids when you go! How exciting!

Roselyn - So sorry to hear that. I am praying for your family, especially your DH and his mom. Nice job getting a workout in.

Diane - I really hate when workouts stop for ads, that is just not right. I see them quite infrequently on Kelly's workouts. I think the ones that are for the free workouts for the public have the ads in them. The ones that are members only do not. I'm not liking high intensity at all anymore. My knees especially do not like them. Today's workouts were a bit higher in intensity but not too bad. I know I can modify but sometimes I just feel cheated if I do that. Stupid, I know. I'm glad you didn't have any fractures but how frustrating to be going through all of this. It makes me mad to read what you and Belinda are going through - you two are so active and healthy, it just doesn't seem fair. I pray for you two all the time in hopes that all of this can right itself. I hope you find some relief soon.

Jolie - Thinking of you and your mom. Hope all is going ok.

Have a great day everyone!
 
My mother-in-law passed away last night. We had been up there a lot during the day and I told my husband I had a feeling he should just maybe stay all night well he went up after dinner and came home about seven He said she’s resting and falling asleep so he got settled here and they called him at 7:54 and said she was slipping away and we got there in time and we were there about 10 minutes and she passed away at 8:20 while he held her hand luckily we live five minutes from where she was,his parents had been divorced since he been an infant so she was his constant parent ,so I’m just happy she went peaceful. Just kind of drifted off. Thank you for the prayers.
